simple & easy recipes that look & taste delicious!

I made chocolate pancakes for some special loved ones on Valentine’s Day: my little sister and two younger brothers. They love chocolate and sweets in general. I whipped these up with the help of a boxed pancake mix for their breakfast, while my husband made me a different breakfast.

Tip: Once you see little bubbles and steam rising on the batter, it’s time to flip.

Makes about 8 “normal” size pancakes.

Taste great by itself, but my audience likes it topped with powder sugar, additional chocolate chips, syrup and whip cream.

Enjoy!

It is a Sunday morning and my children spent the night with their grandma. On this rare occasion of a “free morning”, I was craving chocolate chip pancakes from IHOP but did not want to get out of my PJ’s. This recipe was just the thing I needed – thanks so much 🙂

I am sure they will also be hit with my daughter and her friends next time she has a sleepover!

I’m looking forward to making these! Krusteaz is my favorite pancake mix but hadn’t figured out how to make chocolate pancakes on my own, so thanks! I’m going to try adding fruit instead of the chocolate chips or adding orange juice instead of water to make chocolate orange pancakes.

So delicious and full of flavor! I used dilettante mint chocolate instead of chocolate chips. And spread with marionberry jam, these pancakes tasted like Christmas! Will definitely be making these for the family on Christmas morning:)
